From Joseph + Esther DeQuattro of Pane Vino comes the much anticipated Massimo. Massimo brings the quintessential Italian trattoria to Providence’s Federal Hill Neighborhood. Offering a contemporary Italian menu inspired by the regional cuisines of Italy. Signature dishes include the Spaghettini alla Carbonara; Fig & Gorganzola Pizza; and House-Cured Duck Confit “Anatra”.

Massimo is classically designed to create a warm and lively setting. Massimo’s spacious dining room and glass-enclosed private dining room—including a full bar & lounge—make it the perfect place for occasions of all scopes and sizes, whether it’s a quiet night out with friends and family, or a boisterous celebration with dozens of guests.

Massimo has unique Italian wines from small boutique Italian winemakers (available nowhere else!) and a cellar selection from Italy, Spain and California. Our approach to wine is accessibility, quality and variety to encourage unfettered enjoyment.

    Great service. Front of house and servers were really nice. Food was quite good. The music was too loud and a little off the mark.

    Massimo was a very nice place, great food, and great service. In addition, it has free valet parking, we just tipped the valet guy who was very nice. We sat at high top table, which wasn’t what we wanted nor fave, but it’s all they had available. So if you want to sit in nicer area, make sure to reserve with enough time in advance. Great place! 👍

    Our past experiences have been much better. Last night, the food was significantly below expectation. I had the lasagna. It was a C-. The bottom layer uncooked. Our waiter, Randy, seemed like a nice enough young man but came across as aloof and mechanical in his service. Maybe he was responsible for too many tables. Despite our past experiences, last evening was so underwhelming that it will probably a long time before we return. There are so many dining options on Federal Hill that taking another chance on getting underwhelmed isn’t something we’ll do soon.

    We came here for our anniversary and were greeted at the table with a cute card. Food and drinks were great! Our server, Carvel, was very nice and brought us out a dessert along with some orangecello.
